    EVEN if you want more DEX, then you can always meld it on Rose Gold Ring and some get usefull PAR instead of trash S.Speed.

    So, like I said, Rose Gold Rings are CLEARLY BiS.

    Sorry mate, when looking at two things where one of them has a worthless stat in place of a decent one in the other, there's just nothing to think about it.
    My point is : You get to the 211 cap, or wall, as you prefer, for free while grabing what offers you the best total of stats. It puts you at 218 and my opinion is to leave it there. You wanna get to 226 ? Well then, instead of wasting 18 PAR turned into a useless 18 S.Speed, grab a bunch of Dexterity Materia III which should be cheap and meld 1 on each Rose Gold Ring you have. There, you're at 226.
    If you get the griphonskin rings, you have 10 useless DEX and 18 usless S.Speed. If you get the Rose Gold Rings, you achieve the exact same thing but you get nothing but usefull stats.

    Assuming everything is capped at 12 on those acc, I'll simply get DPS ears/neck/wrist and meld one IV VIT, one III VIT, two III CRT and one IV PAR, then two tank rings and meld one IV STR, one III STR, two III CRT and one III DEX.

    The total will then be :

    STR : 49
    VIT : 56
    CRT : 60
    DET : 20
    PAR : 45
    DEX : 35
    ACC : 57
    S.Speed : 0

    With your way, assuming you'd meld 12 VIT 12 CRT 9 PAR on each one (and dunno about your serv, but on mine battledance are really expensive) we'd look at the same thing, you'd just swap 4 STR for 4 VIT, get an extra 10 DEX that is useless since you're already at 226 with my way and an extra 18 S.Speed that would probably lower you GCD by around 0.05.
    Your only advantage over the Rose Gold Rings is that 18 S.Speed. My way cost far far far far less gils since you would need to succeed 5 (only 3 for me) forbiden meld with an extremely expensive Battledance IV.

    We're talking about millions just to gain far less than 0.1 sec on your GCD for a job that doesn't take any real advantage of it anyway.

    I'd even prefer piety instead of S.Speed and I would actually consider it since it would make flash a little bit less bad on WAR.

    I don't think you understand. At all.

    There are no known caps in the game. Only walls. Once you climb the wall, you get the bonus.

    On top of that, the only testing he did was at BASE Dex, +15 DEX, and +30 DEX. Given that STR has walls out past +30 STR, I am pretty damn confident that DEX does as well. Only a fool would take extremely limited incomplete data and use that as his defacto reasoning for X.

    Seriously guy. Common Sense.
